“Josey did a great job and provided lots of flexibility as well as great care for our little ones. Some great photos of the pups while they were hanging together!!”
“Emily was a fantastic dog sitter! Geli loved her and she was very professional and attentive! She was very communicative during the sitting, and I loved seeing pictures of Geli throughout the weekend! I would 100% recommend Emily as a dog sitter!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Zacharia! He house sat for us and did an amazing job and was super nice! We received daily photo updates which really put us at ease while on vacation. Watering our indoor and outdoor plants was also not a problem for him. Great communication and prompt responses times. We really couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our fur babies. We will definitely be using Zacharia in the future!”
“Jennifer was amazing. She was very kind and professional. She came on time for the meet and greet. She took care of my dog well for two days. I will definitely ask her to take care of Nate again.”
“Cat and Casie were great!! I needed a dog sitter very last minute for a week-long trip and Cat jumped right on board ready to meet me and my pups and learn all the ropes of their routine on short notice. I was excited to receive numerous updates while I was out of town, even though I didn’t have the best phone service out of the country - I was kept in the loop on how my dogs were doing the whole time via texts, photos, and sweet videos describing their day together. Cat took them on multiple walks and adhered to all the things they are used to, even cuddling on the couch with plenty of blankets. I appreciate this sitter’s attentiveness to detail (I am very detail oriented when it comes to my dogs and house), tidiness, communication, willingness to devote attention to the dogs day and night - and just overall being kind, cool people. Josie and Hamilton surprisingly weren’t even THAT wildly excited when we got home (not as much as we expected anyway), which makes me believe they had a great time with Cat and Casie!”
“Jennifer took great care of Bear! Sent pictures everyday. He seemed calm and happy when I came back. Will definitely use her again for future bookings.”
“I honestly could not have been more pleased with how Zoe did with my dogs!! She was so caring, took plenty of pictures, and gave me updates frequently. I went out of town and felt so so comfortable while gone because of the high quality of care she gave my dogs. Will 100000% be rebooking and I absolutely recommend her. Thank you so much, Zoe!!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful dog sitter. She asked if she could come over a few days before we left to learn about our dogs and their routines. She was good with them and very responsive to their individual needs. While she was watching them, she texted cute pictures of them so I could relax knowing they were in good hands. She was very conscientious and thoughtful.”
“Janette did an amazing job! She took great care of Mia and even dealt with our maintenance guys when our AC was out! She sent updates and pictures and made sure Mia was comfortable the whole time! Would definitely use her again!”
“Amber is great! Our dog needs someone who wants to play and be active. She also helped us with a few other things we needed. We will be using her to dog sit again.”
“Ana was great! She took care of our two crazy goldens for the weekend, and took them on walks, played fetch, and communicated with us well. We’ll definitely book with her again 😊”
“Catherine is fantastic! She updated me regularly with photos and comments about how she and Little Bit were doing. She is a very clear communicator, and I was at total peace while I was away. My dog was totally and unusually peaceful when I got home, and although she was glad to see me, it was clear to me that she had really bonded with Catherine. I highly recommend her!”
“Christian did such a great job with our three dogs! She sent updates on how they were doing and made sure she made them feel as comfortable as she could while we were gone!”
“Miranda is the best sitter! She took very good care of Olive. She is responsive and sent me pictures of Olive which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommended”
“Sydney was amazing! She was able to assist us with a last minute booking and did an incredible job watching our fur babies. Her communication was great, she kept us updated and sent us pictures. We would definitely use her again!”
“Liz was fantastic! She sent pictures daily, kept in the loop, and made sure we knew our babies were in good hands. Our dogs aren't overly difficult to care for, but Liz kept in constant contact with us, which is very important to us. She took such good care of them, that after we got home, they spent the first evening looking for her and whining because she had left. 10/ 10. Will continue to use Liz any time we need a dogsitter.”
“Kenna was promptly on time, communicative through her visit and great with our dog Henry. We will definitely ask her to spend time with him again.”
“Kiera was amazing with our two dogs on such short notice! She sent pictures and updates, took them on walks and made sure our Oliver got to play as much ferch as his heart desires! We are so thankful we found someone on such late notice! She is HIGHLY recommended!!”
“Marisol took good care of our kitties and communicated very well with us throughout our trip.”
About: I have always been around dogs my entire life, whether in my home or a friend or relative. I’ve had a Rottweiler, Pit bull, and a Golden Retriever, just to name a few. I have always been a dog person. I can care for any type of dog. I am a college student and mother, so my mornings consist of getting 2 boys and myself ready for school Monday thru Friday. My afternoons and evenings are always open. I do not go out on weekends a lot, so I have plenty of time for your pups! I have a spacious fenced backyard that’s free for dogs to roam and play with no problems. The gates are updated and secure so no dogs will be able to escape.
